WELCOME TO PERRIAM & PARTNERS
The first thing you need to know about us is that we are really good at our job, the second is that this website is updated weekly, yes weekly, and the third, it's the very reason why we come to work "passion, purpose and profit".
Perriams' success is built on forging personal relationships with our clients. Simply put, the more we invest in understanding you, your family and your business, the more valuable the insight we can offer.
When a website doesn't include "last updated" on it's content, it begs the question "did it happen today, yesterday or 10 years ago?!" Well Perriam & Partners is about today and tomorrow.
PERRIAMS POWER RANKINGS - 01 DECEMBER 2025
Each week we announce Perriams “Game Changers” for the week.
1. Liam Lawson secures his place in Red Bull racing for 2026, how good. This is huge and for many of us we just don’t know how big F1 is in the world.
2. Sam Ruths NZ records in the 1500m and 800m at the NZ schools secondary championships. This guy is running way faster than Peter Snell or John Walker did at this time. He could well be our very best!
3. NZ downhill snow skier Alice Robinson tops world podium again in the Giant Slaom. Yet again Kiwis punching above, on the world stage.
THE PACESETTER - 08 DECEMBER 2025
💭OPINION
Tis the ‘silly season” and why not its been a tough year for many.
So its time to let the hair down , let off some steam but remember! Don’t go overboard
You’ll have AC HR on your case!
💎GEM
We can now count it as a GEM. That is Christchurch Parakiore Sports Venue officially opening this Tuesday, more than a decade since it was announced in 2013. And how much over budget? Only $283 million.
It will be the envy of many in all our other city centres in NZ.
💡SPOTLIGHT
Were they briefed? That’s the question? Its captured limelight at the moment so the jury’s out! Are the politicians or Andrew Coaster telling the truth here.
HOT TOPIC
1:5 of our principles left in their first year in our schools
That’s a worry alright but where did they go? To another school or did they leave the profession?
TAX TALK
IRD is looking to crack down on shareholder overdrawn current accounts. Effectively this is a loan from the company to the shareholder.
What’s the change?
The proposal is for a time lime that would treat certain shareholder loans as dividends and tax them accordingly if they were not paid back within 12 months from the end of the income year in when they would made.
The change if enforced would only apply to new loans. So there is no getting away with just interest being charged on your loan, you’ll pay the tax.
🏉SPORTIFY
Belgium, Iran and Egypt
Fifa announces the NZ world cup draw and you have to say its not too bad.
Knockoff Iran and Egypt and muscle up against Belgium and who knows?
We are the lowest ranked team in the tournament but who cares?
Time to clone Christ Wood in the next six months.
📊OF INTEREST
Retirement village changes a good start
So, what are these? The main improvements include:
Operators having to repay funds within 12 months of a unit being left vacant., that interest will accrue on what is owing after six months of it has yet to be resold and that when a resident leaves their weekly fees and deductions stop immediately.
📈THE MARKETS
IKEA opens in NZ. Despite our still gloomy economic outlook, IKEA must have different things in mind for NZ given their entry into our market? So perhaps that’s a good sign of things to come, there is the fact that however they will provide some stiff competition to our existing retailers.
